Re: Different gear ratios?
You've probably gotten a different gear ratio, all else being the same. The 99 Evinrude V6 Ficht and eTec motors were available with 1.85:1, 1.86:1, and 2.0:1 gear ratios. Most got the 1.85:1 ratio. A very few got the 2.0:1, and the 1.86:1 ratio were all foreign distribution.
A note of warning. The 1993 through 2002 oem gears for Evinrude and Johnson were very poor quality, and their single biggest issues were pinion gear failures. BRP fixed the problem, so if the gears are new, you're okay.
